GIMP 2.10 Brush Palette In ProgressSo, now I think that I had found a good compromise between of the old and something new. In the next days, I will have ready the r2 of my draft.I have revised all brushes and verified the authors, new codification with some changes on the names to clarify better the usage possibility of each brush.#GIMP#FrescoGIMP

Mozart Couto: I liked the new set of brushes for the next version of GIMP. It's more organized. I think the added brushes will not cause any inconvenience to the regular user but will make the GIMP painting experience more expansive and fun. I hope some adjustments can be made by the developers so we can use, for example, brushes with spacing at very low values without this causing delays. Most brushes are built to deliver excellent results with spacings between 1 and 4! And this is very common in most programs for image editing and digital painting.

Michal G.: It's gonna be superb, but when installing GIMP v2.10 final version, I can't see your brushes, unfortunately... :(

Americo Gobbo: +Michal G. Sorry to my response so late ;) At the final release of 2.10 some guys of GIMP staff are retained not good to all users my set vision. So, I will prepare an independent set to share these brushes, but is necessary include also some paint dynamics... I think more interesting following my articles on gimp.org where I will share surely this set and other stuff.

Subtractive way on MyPaint - IVI am thinking about is so fun painting with a behavior that the traditional painters are accustomed to the real painting:

1. Is not necessary think in complex layers stack with different blend modes.2. the work progress in a way very simple where the artist could add transparent layers to cancel or covering partially the work. This process is very similar to successive glazing applied on the real canvas.3. Is more linked to traditional painting and is easier to migrate from and to.n. ... (in progress :)

I am thinking when and if will be possible to implement on MyPaint stable and in future on GIMP we'll have a free software to digital painting to the much-refined tastes.

Subtractive way on MyPaint - IIIContinuing, with my abstract landscapes, the tests with the new subtractive mode, in the +Brien Dieterle GitHub branch.I need to revise a bit some of my brushes to add this feature.The gradient was made with a bristle brush to MyPaint with abilities to blend subtractively the colors.

Subtractive way on MyPaint - IIYesterday thanks after a long discussion between +Brien Dieterle and Elle Stone [https://ninedegreesbelow.com] and I marginally... Brien has pushed the last update of his branch with Subtractive , Multiply and Spectral ways to painting on MyPaint. Now, they are completely separated on the Brush Editor.This is a simple example of the gradient between a BG and YO.The aspect of painting work is nice and is funny to work in a way similar of natural media to blending the colors directly on the canvas, without layers to add effects or blending.

We have just done source code release of GIMP 2.10.6 with vertical text, async layer preview rendering, new filters, usability improvements, bugfixes, and more changes. Builds for Windows and macOS are a work in progress and will be announced separately soon.

Noise Brushes and Personal TastesEffectively I am more interested in the dirty brushes to the digital painting... Perhaps is only a way to substitute the traditional media with the digital environment.

Add the noise effect on the brushes is another way to the suitable emulate real and shabby old brushes :-)
